Café Melba at Goodman Arts Centre

Big thank you to the team for making my daughter’s birthday celebration such a success today! Guests loved the food and kids-friendly environment. Mushroom soup and pizza were a huge hit, Caesar salad was fresh and crisp, and the roasted pork was great! To the always-smiling Sufyan, a lovely and helpful gentleman who helped with the event planning and great food recommendations. Even assisted us with the additional bouncy castles we brought for our guests whenever required in view of the weather. To the rest of the front and back of house team, thank you for being attentive, hospitable and on point with the food. Highly recommend this venue. Good food, superb service, kids-friendly, and value-for-money. I’d only recommend more fans or air-circulation when guests are seated in front of the kitchen, as it can get too warm.

Had their 1 for 1 pizza weekday promotion. We could not finish the pizza. Was larger than expected 14 inch. I enjoyed the truffle pizza the most. We also order the nacho which might have been too much. The area was kid friendly with playing area overall atmosphere was good.

We tried all the mains from the festive menu and thought they were all well prepared. They were delicious, and well plated. The children loved their pasta and pizza from the kids menu. they had 2 orders each because they were tasty.

I was here as a family with a 3yo & an infant. We were here after our activities at Goodman art center. We were seated outdoor with reservation on a weekend lunch. The first impression is that this place is extremely under staff. From what we see, there’s only 2 serving staff on the ground (for both indoor & outdoor). The staffs however are trying very hard to keep up the service, however it’s lagging due to headcount. Kudos to them. 1. The chairs outdoor… oh my goodness are littered with bird droppings. They are extremely disgusting & unhygienic. It affected me about the cleanliness for kids. 2. The food came all at once after 25-30min wait. However I ordered a starter, came with the mains too. And you can tell sweet potato fries were left out waiting for the mains as it’s cold & lost the texture). 3. I ordered C.A.T. Sandwich. I was really surprised the toast was burnt & the avocado in it was really bad! It’s honestly the worst smashed avocado sandwich I ever came across. The quantity exceeded my expectations, however the quality is so unpleasant that I wish there’s less of it! 4. My husband ordered the chicken katsu burger & he was looking forward to it because he had it before at the other outlet. However he said that this time it’s such a disappointment & the only good part of it was the buttered bun. 5. The cups for drinking are not maintained at all with tons of residues & chips. We are really saddened because we really enjoyed the outdoor experience here. However everything else is really creeping me out.

My hubby and I come here for dinner sometimes after BFT and the food never fails us!! Good vegetarian options too. It’s quite chill and not crowded on weekday evenings so that’s a nice experience.

Came when there was a kid’s birthday party event on, so the staff were super busy. On a weekend, the staff recommend people to make a booking in advance. But the cafe vibes are super cute for a little brunch and coffee, and it’s pet friendly and child friendly too.

Came here to eat since we were going to use the facilities. We also saw online there was some deal for "$25 for 2 course + a spritzer" Good: - the environment was nice and quiet - they have WiFi available Good be better: - apparently the deal was for 1 main course + a soup, which we misinterpreted as 25 bucks for 2 meals - the coffee was so-so, could hardly taste the roast of the coffee beans - the steak and sea bass were decent but definitely not considered nice All in all, a pretty expensive meal and coffee for less than great quality.

Wonderful food - chef’s special beef bourguignon! It was really good. Just a pity the water was sold to us as Voss water but the lid had already been opened, so I doubt it’s a new bottle and probably refilled with tap. Better to just offer tap refillable for a small fee as lots of restaurants do.
